UW 2023 Commencement celebrates graduates at Husky Stadium

Light rain didn’t dampen spirits for this year’s graduates and their proud friends and family members. More than 7,000 University of Washington graduates of the Class of 2023 participated in Saturday’s 148th Commencement on Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium.
UW officials estimated more than 40,000 spectators filled the stands to cheer on this year’s graduating class.
